- Charles_Nelson_(writer) abstract "Charles Nelson (born 1942) is an American writer, best known for his 1981 novel The Boy Who Picked the Bullets Up.Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he moved to DeLand, Florida with his family at age 12 and later graduated from Stetson University. He served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.He published The Boy Who Picked the Bullets Up in 1981. The novel centred on Kurt Strom, a gay former baseball player serving as a Marine medic in Vietnam, and is considered an important milestone in the history of both LGBT literature and Vietnam War literature. The novel had been rejected by 13 publishing companies due to its LGBT content before being accepted for publication by William Morrow and Company. During the book's promotional tour, he told media that the novel was \"25 per cent autobiographical\", but refused to specify which 25 per cent.He later published Panthers in the Skins of Men, a sequel novel about Kurt Strom's readaptation to post-military life in the United States, in 1989. Both novels took their titles from the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud, and both were written as epistolary novels. At the time of the original publication of The Boy Who Picked the Bullets Up, he also had an outline planned for a third Kurt Strom novel, although no third novel has been published as of 2015.Nelson was still living in DeLand as of 1992, according to Kevin McCarthy's book The Book Lover's Guide to Florida. Despite writing about a gay protagonist partially based on his own experiences in Vietnam, none of the known biographical sources about Nelson clarify whether he ever personally identified himself as gay.The Boy Who Picked the Bullets Up is the subject of an essay by Jim Marks in the 2010 non-fiction anthology The Lost Library: Gay Fiction Rediscovered.".
